Poets Needed. Please Apply Within...

"Of all nations the United States with veins full of potential stuffmost needs poets and will doubtless have the greatest and use them the greatest. Their Presidents shall not be their common referee so much as their poets shall. Of all mankind the great poet is the equable man... He bestows on every object or quality its fit proportions neither more nor less. He is the arbiter of the diverse and he is the key. He is the equalizer of his age and land... He supplies what wants supplying and checks what wants checking. If peace is the routine out of him speaks the spirit of peace... If the time becomes slothful and heavy he knows how to arouse it... He can make every word he speaks draw blood."

~ Walt Whitman
